Time for Maxi Dresses

For some reason I’ve always been a pants kind of girl, but now I’m changing from skinny jeans and leggings, which I’m growing more and more sick of, into flowy maxi dresses. With my height long dresses are perfect. And they are so so easy to pull off for the daytime with sandals and the nighttime as well with heels and perhaps a little leather jacket for some edge. My favorite styles are those with bold colors and delicate floral designs, which are the definition of femininity.Where to wear these dresses? On campus, out for lunch, on a date, and of course on vacation at say a resort in the Turks & Caicos. Go ahead and add some romance to your life, which doesn’t involve a man (though in one of these stunners a new man may just come along!).

Now that I’m in the market for the perfect easy-breezy maxi, here are my top considerations, which of course are affordable (under $200).

I must admit that I HATE shopping on a budget! Especially when I see to-die-for peices on the runways. I wish that I didn’t have such expensive taste, but I can’t help it.
